Ratings and reviews

This app is horrible. It crashes and won't relaunch, requiring a reinstall, which brings all of the settings and algorithm variables to their defaults. The learning is very slow so it can take months of manual bolus dosing before it starts performing decently. The convenience of Omnipod is overshadowed by bugs, extremely conservative strategies, and poor application of technology.

This app works okay. Having initially used the OmniPod provided dummy phone for about a year and a half this was an upgrade to avoid having two phones on my side. However, after setting up your phone app, the choices you make are very different to change. Resetting the password is one. (How was I supposed to know that I'd have to enter it at least 20,000 times a day... or fewer?) I've been to a few Who concerts that were less loud than the *only* alarm setting. An "adult" setting would be nice.

I've been using Omnipod since its first version. I recall the complexity and original designs that the company has navigated through its challenges. This app shouldn't be compared with entertainment or social media apps because its purpose is different. The user interface is intentionally simple, making navigation easy for users. I appreciate the sophisticated software that operates behind the scenes. 👍
